NOTES
* The main point of this article was briefly stated at the Sanskrit syntax session of the South Asia Language Analysis conference held at Ithaca and Syracuse in June 1987.
The few abbreviations employed in the body of the article are explained in the bibliography. ! Contradicting what he says here or extricating himself from a possible charge of contradiction, Staal makes the following remark on p. 32, while discussing Patañjali 1.1.58 (p. 1.152 lines 24-5): "The term anupūrvya is here used to refer to a given particular succession of words; the term abhisambandha for word order in general ..." As I point out below in section 3.5., the distinction which Staal makes here between anupūrvya and abhisambandha is as arbitrary as their synonymity which he proclaims initially. 2 "Taxonomy, in this sense, corresponds to the Sanskrit abhisambandha, and structural linguistics can in this sense be characterized by its insistence upon abhisambandha." P. 2.
"... the distinction Du Marsais made between syntaxe and construction corresponds to the distinction of the Sanskrit grammarians between sambandha and abhisambandha." P. 13.
"... the distinction between the relation of words in a sentence (sambandha), which certainly belongs to the deep structure, and the order of words of a sentence (abhisambandha), which may belong to the surface structure." P. 30.
